Ever tried to sit through a longer prayer with your favorite food in front of you, your sister poking you, an empty belly, a sweating back, your legs extended in front of you since the chair is too big.... and the list continues. Abe has a hard time sitting through prayers. Zana just doesn't.
Tonight was different since Zana sat quiet as a mouse and still. She is seriously sick. In fact I think she is very allergic to sesame seeds.
Yep! She has had now three major episodes of 24 hours of violent vomiting after eating humus or another food with tahini within the ingredients. It is so sad. She just vomits and vomits and vomits some more. Her tummy gets all hard. She cries for about two minutes before she upchucks. It is a pain filled cry and then wham bang-oh out is flows like a projectile missile.
I heard it in another room hit the floor this afternoon. Once then twice. Then on me while a repair man was in the house, Abe was running around in his diaper banging his car into walls and the pressure cooker was hissing from the kitchen. We had just gotten cleaned up when she threw up again all over me. She nestles her face down into my armpit and lets loose down my side somehow keeping most of it off of herself.
Her little trusting eyes fill with big tears and her whole body tenses and I feel saddened by the reality of life outside the garden. This might be a life long allergy for Zana baby girl. It is ugly and painful and sad and just a fragment of what many others face daily in lives full of limitations.
Sorry for my baby and fighting to keep her hydrated!

Love these last posts!! Those children are precious.... Do I ever remember the days of Rebecca mostly waking me up at all hours with a smile on her face..... It was tough but yes, she was a cutie... Those beautiful blue eyes on your children are spectacular....
ReplyDeleteEnjoy them as this time will pass tooooo quickly...
love, Marjorie
Did you ever get my pics from travel to see W and M?
Keep the fluid. Even if it means a tsp every 2 minutes. Did you bring kids benedryl with you? I am sure mkesler would send you some asap if you didn't. It could end up being a life saver if she really does have a list of unknown allergies.
ReplyDeleteI love you. I think you are "the woman!" You are truly amazing. Keep loving. Keep praying. As are we too. Miss you.
started crying as I read this. I love you and Zana girl.
